Career As Citizens...!?!?

Ever thought of yourself as having a career as a 'citizen'? No, neither have I. Funny that. Like the majority of our readers on here I just tend to get on with it. Seems other people have different ideas.

Here's the latest promo from Common Purpose that may make you change your mind (featuring BBC's business editor Robert Peston).

Also interesting to note the contribution from Janet Paraskeva, first commissioner of the Civil Service...

Career As Citizens...!?!?

Mark Steyn; praise him! Praise him! Praise his blessed name! points out that the White House , ie President Obama, is asking American Citizens to report anybody who says anything dodgy ( read 'critical') about the nationalisation of healthcare to the White House.

Get that? The head of government of a nuclear-armed nation wants freeborn American citizens to report on other freeborn American citizens for saying things about government policy that the self-same government doesn't believe to be true.

Now, I would never, under any circumstances, want to to interfere with the internal politics of a friendly, sovereign nation, and I don't mean to start now.
However, if they want untrue things reporting to the State, what harm could it do to give them TRUE information about, for example, actual socialized medicine here in Britain, plus other delightful aspects of the Welfare State which the Democrats so openly and flatteringly admire, who better to put them right than us Brits?.

Obviously, the American State might find it a bit more difficult or time-consuming to sort out and investigate freeborn American citizens who have been saying untrue things about socialized medicine's bright American future, but surely it's a small price to pay for putting them right?
